suppose i have writen a cobol program which produces an extract file with some records in it
example:

Code:
121     sdds              3232             sdfsdfs



now i want to add a row which identifies each record through cobol prog.

Code:
no.     name             addre.           city                  <== row to be added


i have to do this through cobol
i hope it is clear now

Hi

Take the backup of the existing extract file.
Create a new FD with the appended fileds.
read first file with old FD, and write into newfile with new fd.

Terminology problems...

Does the above represent one record with 4 fields or 4 records?

Rows are in tables, not extract files, why the change in terminology?

Hi Vinit,

Is your problem solved?

If not, in the COBOL program, after opening the output file, write one record that is all of the header info. You can do this by defining a "header" record in working-storage and writing from it. Just line up the values so they come out over the correct positions in your data records.

My understanding is shaky sometimes, so if that will not do what you need, just let us know. icon_smile.gif

first write the records that you want and add new that you want
check following programe
Code:
                    -         ID DIVISION.
                              PROGRAMME-ID. ADDITION.
                              ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
                                   SELECT FILE1 ASSIGN TO DD1
                                    FILE STATUS IS FS1.
                                   SELECT FILE2 ASSIGN TO DD2
                                   FILE STAUS IS FS2.
                              DATA DIVISION.
                              FD FILE1.
                              01 INPUT
                                 02  X PIC X(80).
                              FD FILE2
                               01 OUTPUT.
                           [---     02 ECODE  PIC X(3).
                 OLD RECORD[        02 FILLER  PIC X.
                           [        02 ESAL    PIC X(4)
                           [        02 FILLER   PIC X.
                                    02 NEW1    PIC X(8)
                                    02 FILLER   PIC X(67).
                              PROCEDURE DIVISION.
                                  OPEN FILE1 OUTPUT MODE.
                                   READ FILE1
                                     IF FS1=0
                                        THEN
                                     MOVE INPUT TO OUTPUT
                                       MOVE "URBRILLIANT" TO NEW1
                                       WRITE OUTPUT
                                      STOP RUN.

Hello,

Please re-post the code "solution" to include the data Vinit provided. Assume that there are more than one input records because while there may be only 1 example record, it is likely that when this runs for "real" there will be multiples.

The "solution" as posted will not do what Vinit needs. I doubt that FILE1 would be opened as output. FILE2 is not opened at all. If the posted code was eventually made to run, it would add a literal to whatever data was in the first input record possibly moving the literal over some of the good data.

We'll be here for version2 icon_smile.gif
